Minnesota homicide detective Max Rupert has never recovered from the death of his wife, Jenni, initially believed to be the victim of a hit-and-run driver. Struggling with his own demons and alienating his coworkers, Max is in danger of losing the only thing that still matters to him—his job. But after discovering that his wife was murdered, Max is torn between his implacable desire for vengeance and his need to maintain his inherent decency and commitment to law enforcement.
VERDICT Edgar Award winner Eskens's fourth mystery (after The Heavens May Fall)—and the third in which Max Rupert appears—takes the "will he or won't he" revenge theme and layers it with darkly convincing action and intricate plotting. Packed with heart-wrenching twists, this bleak book will haunt readers who favor an evocative and compelling sense of dread along with a dose of noir.
